My latest book, “Martha Stewart’s Vegetables” provides so many wonderful recipes and tips for enjoying your favorite veggies.
To promote the book, last week I conducted a food demo and book signing at Macy’s Del Amo Fashion Center in Torrance, California. Many people turned out for the event and I had a great time signing books and talking with the crowd. Guests loved flipping through the stunning photographs and tasting samples from my book that are also available on our Martha & Marley Spoon delivery service menu.
With all the late-summer vegetables that are being harvested from your gardens, I hope you’ll pick up a copy of my book and try my recipes - you’ll absolutely love every one. And, be sure to check out the Martha Stewart Collection at Macy's for great products and supplies for your kitchen. Enjoy these photos.

It’s important to keep the line moving, but when I can, I also try to stop for snapshots with visitors. (Photo by Wire Image)
I also had the opportunity to talk to people about my products and to learn first hand feedback. (Photo by Wire Image)
